> Can we fix wpt-sync to work in a before/after mode instead of depending on mozilla-central?
Yes, probably but that's additional complexity that we don't already have. 

> We do not have the luxury of running unlimited tests because they exist, if there are some subsets of non expected-pass tests that we need to run, I would like them to be justified individually with a business case:

Given that "expected pass" as defined here doesn't map logically onto the semantics you want, I don't think that's a reasonable position to take.

I have proposed an alternative solution (deprioritise tests for features we've made a business decision not to support). I think it's reasonable to have a discussion about the different tradeoffs, but I don't think it's reasonable to start from the assumption that the proposal in comment #0 is the correct solution.
